Spot 6, California: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Spot 6 in Riverside County, California. Warm green lowland runs right down to the water. Nearest place of any size is Rubidoux, 1.6 miles away. Riverside sits 3.1 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. If this one is busy: Spot 3 at 0.2 miles, Lake Evans the better part of 0.2 miles, Poorman Reservoir at 8.1 miles, Secombe Lake the better part of 9.4 miles and Lake Mathews at 11 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Spot 6

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include green sunfish, santa ana sucker, yellow bullhead, black bullhead and bluegill. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. The near bank of this water is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 78°F; the cold one sits at 54°F. Warmth runs the whole year, so timing is about the hour, not the month. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. You can park 100 yards away and walk in from there. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Public toilets are recorded roughly 160 yards off. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Spot 3, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
